Ferries

You can buy tickets online, from a travel agent in Greece, or you can get your tickets when you arrive at the port. There are usually enough tickets to the islands even up to the time of departure but if you are traveling in the busiest time of the year (mid July to the end of August) you should book ahead especially if you are traveling with a car.

From Italy, main sea routes of the Adriatic connect the ports of Venice, Ancona, Bari and Brindisi of Italy to Patras and Igoumenitsa in mainland Greece. Several ferries also connect Italy to the Ionian Islands, though mostly during summer months. Trip duration varies from a minimum of about 8 hours Brindisi to Igoumenitsa, to a maximum 26 hours from Venice to Patras. Multiple ferries depart for Greece daily.
